(from Kleemann Press
Release) The KLEEMANN E50KCC is the perfect car for people
wanting something other than a regular SUV but who still appreciate
4-wheel drive and extended ground clearance in some situations. In
addition, the KLEEMANN E50KCC offers performance at a level only
very few SUVs are able to match. Top speed is limited to 250 km/h
and the car accelerates from 0 -100 km/h in less than five seconds.

The KLEEMANN E50KCC is based on the Mercedes-Benz E500T 4-Matic but
the conversion can be carried out on any E-Class T-model.

To increase ride height
of the car, KLEEMANN engineers have developed special modifications
that offset the whole chassis 30 mm up from the suspension and
drivetrain.
In other words, this technical solution allows the engine and
gearbox to stay where originally placed while the AirMatic
suspension continues to work as on the standard car.

Together with a new wheel package, the offsetting of the chassis
results in a ride height increase of a total of 50 mm while the
center of gravity is kept nearly as low as on the standard car.

Ground clearance alone is
increased by 20 mm.

The wheels and tires
have been selected to ensure that comfortable and quick everyday
driving is maintained while also making the car capable of light off
road driving or driving in snowy and slippery conditions.

255/45-ZR 18 TOYO Proxes
tires are fitted on 18 inch alloy wheels large enough to make
provisions for the KLEEMANN KB4 High Performance Brake system.

The Exterior redefined

To match the performance
and image of the E50KCC, KLEEMANN has redesigned the exterior of the
elegant estate significantly.

The exterior
modifications are more than enhancement parts fitted to the body;
they are a complete redesign of the whole lower part of the car
including the wheel arches, giving the car a muscular look and
strong road presence.

The front and rear
skirt, with built-in undercarriage protection in stainless steel,
are connected by a bold side skirt and wide wheel arch flares. All
together it gives the E50KCC a stern yet sporty look emphasized by
polished aluminium roof rails.

As always the rear skirt makes provisions for the trapezoid KLEEMANN
exhaust pipes.

The Power Package

The car is powered by
the well known 5.0 litre V8 Kompressor engine which in full KLEEMANN
trim puts out 595 Hp @ 5800 rpm and 770Nm of torque @ 2000 rpm.

The power upgrade,
consisting of the KLEEMANN Kompressor, a reprogrammed ECU, tubular
exhaust headers and Super Sport camshafts, is also available for the
V6 powered cars thus a KLEEMANN CC can be based on an E240T of E320T
as well as the E500.
